Not only does it look shopped but at least one of the messages is over 140 characters. Twitter doesn't allow me to send a DM longer than 140.

That's what I'm saying. The one was about 246 characters, which is impossible

Yep, I missed your earlier post. That DM exchange is phony.

ESPN got duped again.

Apparently, if you use some Twitter apps you can send DMs longer than 140 characters.

"DM mechanism: Unlike what Twitter states, the DM mechanism is not limited to 140 characters. Whether it’s a bug or a feature, I don’t know. As far as I heard, using an external application can enable you to send much longer DMs, though most applications – and the web interface – limit you to 140 characters. This is easily demonstrated by a screenshot of a DM I received some time ago (which appears at the top of this post)."
